Are you interested in History, and want to see how it shapes the international system today? Then our History and International Relations combined degree is ideal for you. If you want to not only understand contemporary global affairs, but also want to know the events which have shaped the world we live in, then we have the course for you. Why did wars occur and why do we still have wars today? How do we account for historical inequalities, and are their effects still being felt today? Can individuals change history, or do global events transcend any one person? Does the imperialism of the past echo in the world of today? Whether your interest is migration, war, diplomacy, slavery or many other areas, by studying for a BA (Hons) in History and International Relations you’ll be able to look through the lenses of both a historian and an international relations theorist. You will find that these are highly complementary views of the world, but each will give you a subtly different understanding.
